SPECIFICATION forming' part of Letters Patent No. 589,849, datedSeptember 14, 1897.

Application iiled November l0, 1896. Serial Nol 611,582. (No model.)

'o all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, PETER MOBRTDE, a eitizen of the United States,residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Sash Locks or Fasteners;and l do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to sash locks or fasteners.

Hy object is to provide a sash lock and fastener of simple and improvedconstruction which can be quickly and easily manipulated to lock thesash firmly in position at any point 'or which maybe released to allowthe sash to be moved, as desirable.

Having this object in view the invention `L consists of a sash-fasten ercomprisingcertain new features and novel combinations, appearing morefullyhereinafter and recited in the claim.

ln the accompanying'.` drawings, Figure l is a side elevation, and Fig.2 a vertical section.

The numeral l designates a window frame -or casing, and 2 is a sashmovable therein.

- recessed edge forming a cam-incline of exactly the same constructionas that just described, only the portions of the incline are 'has beenbrought to the proper position the free end of the lever is presseddown, and when this happens the locking-plate is moved upwardly, movingthe roller and forcing said locking-plate against the frame. The weightof the sash assists in holding` it locked. By moving the free end of thelever upwardly the locking-plate is drawn downward, moving the rollerdow-n again, so that it lits in the depressed portions of the cnt-awayedges of the two plates, and the locking-plate is then released and thesash can be moved to desired position.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecu re by Letters Patent, is

ln a sash-fastener, the combination with a sash, and a window-frame, ofa plate having an inclined surface and connected to the sash, alocking-plate adapted to bind on the frame and which is provided with aninclined surface, a roller bearing on the two inclined surfaces, and alever pivoted to thesash and operatively connected to the locking-plate.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.

PETER MGBRIDE.
